Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and long-lasting nature, coupled with its rich, boozy, and sweet accords, make it less suitable for office or casual wear. It truly shines for intimate date nights or formal evening events, where its seductive and bold character can be appreciated without overwhelming.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a rich, boozy rum note mingling with a soft, powdery rose and a hint of bright mandarin. This intoxicating opening mellows into a heart of delicate orchid and heady narcissus, before settling into a deeply sensual base of warm vanilla, creamy sandalwood, and rich amber with a touch of tonka bean sweetness. It's a complex dance of sweet, floral, and woody notes, with an underlying powdery elegance.
